Rick Perry Hit With a Prank Phone Call About Fuel Made From Alcohol and Pig Manure

Energy Secretary Rick Perry became the victim of a pair of Russian practical jokers, who recently impersonated Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and called Perry to discuss, among other things, fuel made from pig manure.

”Secretary Perry is the latest target of two Russian pranksters," Department of Energy Spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes told the Washington Post. ”These individuals are known for pranking high level officials and celebrities, particularly those who are supportive of an agenda that is not in line with their governments. In this case, the energy security of Ukraine."

The conversation, which lasted about 20 minutes, came just weeks after Perry met with Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko.
